Registration is now open for the 2016 Multiethnic Symposium [2] Jan. 26-27, 2016, at SA国际传媒, St.Louis [3].
The Multiethnic Symposium [2], with the theme 鈥淐ommunities of Hope: One Community in Christ,鈥� is held every two years and brings together Lutherans of various ethnicities from across the country for two days of workshops, discussions and worship. The symposium explores how the church should engage in ethnic ministry and what it means 鈥� and what it will take 鈥� to become a truly multiethnic church.
鈥淣ow expanding in scope and urgency, this event continues to be, at its heart, about sharing and embracing our various cultural perspectives while holding true to the Scriptures and our Lutheran Confessions,鈥� said Kaye Dumas Wolff, symposium co-chairwoman. 鈥淣o matter what your congregation looks like today, let鈥檚 hope that it is culturally different tomorrow because of our growing culturally diverse mission field. Lay leaders are encouraged to attend to listen and share experiences to help prepare them for the outreach to come.鈥�

Laokouxang (Kou) Seying, Lutheran Foundation Professor of Urban and Cross-Cultural Ministry and associate dean for urban and cross-cultural ministry at SA国际传媒; and Dr. Mason Okubo, senior pastor of Immanuel First Lutheran Church, West Covina, Calif.

Eloy Gonzalez of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, Irving, Texas, and other leaders will share personal and institutional perspectives from ministry practice.
